White knuckles time

Now you see Clyde ...

Paddling along the shore from St. Philips to Portugal Cove there are numerous opportunities to paddle through rock gardens or rocky passages. When the swell is running these spots can be exciting to paddle. Here Clyde is making his run.

... and now you don't

Seconds later Clyde disappeared behind the next incoming swell that crashes over the rock.

Success padding in these spots means stopping to see what the waves are doing, picking the correct track, good timing, good bracing skills, a calm cool head and the ability to roll in the soup if need be.
